6 lg. green peppers
1 lb. ground beef (extra lean)
1/2 c. chopped onion
1 (16 oz.) can tomatoes, cut up
1/2 c. long grain rice
1/2 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 c. shredded American cheese (4 oz.)

Cut tops from green peppers. Discard seeds and membranes. Chop enough of the tops to make 1/4 cup; set aside. Cook the whole green peppers, uncovered, in boiling water for 5 minutes. Invert to drain well. Sprinkle insides of peppers lightly with salt.

In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion and the 1/4 cup chopped green pepper until meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain off excess fat. Add undrained tomatoes, uncooked rice, water, salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper (dash). Bring to boil and then reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 to 18 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in cheese. Stuff peppers with meat mixture and place in a 10"x6"x2" baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Serves 6.
